Harrogate Town form and stats

The story so far in the League Two for Harrogate Town at their home stadium (CNG Stadium) is 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats. When Harrogate Town hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Grimsby Town, Newport County, Crawley Town, Rochdale, Gillingham, Hartlepool United and Harrogate Town), they have won 2 of 4 matches! Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Harrogate Town, their manager Weaver and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

An away draw last time out for Harrogate, facing Salford City in a game that ended 1-1. O'Connor, defender, was given a rating of 7.65/10 in that game, top of the team. O'Connor hit two key passes and won 6 of 9 duels.

Preceding that match was the home game against Stockport County that was lost 1-3.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Harrogate Town have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 9 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 3 and lost 2.

Harrogate Town are traveling soon after this match as the League Two match at Grimsby Town awaits in three days.

The Harrogate Town fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 15 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 24 goals have been conceded.

Crewe Alexandra form and stats

Crewe Alexandra have only collected 12 points from their away games in the League Two, after 2-6-4 (12 played). Two points from the last two away games for Alexandra, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

Crewe Alexandra go into this game after a win, the home game against Hartlepool United that ended 2-0. Yippee; their first three points in the league after six games not winning. Midfield player Ainley was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.83/10. Ainley scored one goal and hit two key passes.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Crawley Town that ended 2-2.

Alexandra are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 3 draws and 9 defeats. From a total of 13 matches.

Crewe Alexandra have another match that requires travelling in just three sleeps, a League Two fixture vs Walsall. A rough schedule for the guests!

The attacking power of Alexandra when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 12 league matches away. As opposed to that, Crewe Alexandra have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road. When Crewe Alexandra is visiting a side on the bottom half, 2 of 3 matches have ended with three or more goals. These are matches against Grimsby Town, Newport County, Crawley Town, Rochdale, Gillingham, Hartlepool United and Alexandra.
